Bug Description
Follow-up report to bug #1029302: The style indicator in the status bar is not updated on tool switch and displays the values of the last selected gradient stop.
Steps to reproduce:
1) launch current trunk (default prefs, default new doc)
2) draw a rectangle
3) switch to the gradient tool, change fill to linear gradient
4) select second gradient stop and change color e.g. to red
5) switch back to the select tool
Expected result:
Style indicator shows style of current selection (linear gradient on fill, black stroke)
Actual result:
Style indicator shows style of last selected gradient stop and does not get updated on tool switch.
Workarounds:
- After switching back to the select tool, deselect and reselect the object to trigger an update of the style indicator in the status bar.
- Deselect the selected gradient stop while still in the gradient tool context (with <esc>), before switching back to the select tool.
Reproduced with r13322 on OS X 10.7.5. Based on tests with archived builds:
- not reproduced with rev <= 11404,
- reproduced with rev >= 11406;
the regression was possibly introduced with the new mesh tool in r11406:

Related bug #1029302 also reproduces with the same revisions (>= 11406), but was later fixed in r11579.
